October Monthly Challenge - "Pick a Color: Yellow"

Thanks. It's the house across the street from our winter house in FL. The neighbors do occasionally sit there One of the first few pictures I took with the EF 70-200f4 IS.

 

Oh love the seat, nice image for the yellow month

 

nice collection of yellows uppercut

 

I like your last image Craig.

Gary

 

Thank you Gary.

 

Hmmm, yellow. Not such an easy one, not a lot of yellow around here apart from flowers. So yes, that was my first thought.



I have not long brought a new to me set of extension tubes, and this was more of just playing. RP, 70-200 f4 L and 36mm of tubes.

Gary

 

And then I put on my thinking cap, and I thought, I can do something else. Second submission.



RP, 70-200 f4 L, and 12 mm of tubes.

Gary

 

Gary, I am in the same boat, only traffic signs and flowers, any thing else requires a more careful search.

 

Gary, I like the odd yellow peg in the image.

 

I went looking for ideas, and I had the choice of some power tools, a watering can, and some banana's.

Gary

 

Gary, Bananas sound good, I like them.

 

Thanks Craig.

There is something not quite right with that image, I'll see if anyone spots it.

With that image, I was thinking of something a little different. I guess we all look at these monthly challenges differently. The way I look at these challenges, is I want to put some thought into my submission, and try something a little different than what I would point my camera at, even if the end image looks like a steaming pile of .........

The flower shot is more of trying something new. I brought a set of EOS AF extension tubes to play around with. The minimum focusing distance of my 70-200 is something like 1.2 meters, so I wanted to throw some tubes into the mix, and see how it panned out. I am not a flower snapper at all. But I was pleasantly surprised how well the gear worked. I can see me exploring these tubes more, and maybe even looking a grabbing a macro lens, and combining them.

Gary I think you hit the nail on the head, I view the comp in a similar way, it is something to stimulate and get out and about shooting images. If you try something different and learn from it then you are a winner, just get out and shout something, out still have achieved something.

 

Kew gardens, London, 18 oct 2021
M50 18-150mm @60mm, ƒ7.1, 1/400, 100 sausages

 

Caladina, when I went to the botanical Gardens in Hobart I took a lady friend along for a picnic, by the mention of the sausages you may have done the same with your partner by the look of your image it would have been worth the trip.

 

yeah me and Loupie went, i have some other images from Kew so does she and some yellow ones, she'll post bit later i expect, she busy at work etc.
sometimes i substitute words when i cant think of what i wanted to say both in real life and through the keyboard, sausages was ment to be iso

 

Sausage sound better as you can not eat ISO.

 

This can,
Eats iso for breakfast

 

MMMM, very sexy and almost better than sausage.
since I can not afford one I shall try for the sausage.

 

Very impressive.
